Been trying to think of melee weapons to draw drekir with that aren't spears. Ergonomically drekir struggle with one handed blunt weapons that aren't also in a roundabout way polearms such as quarterstaffs, and drekir don't have a great horizontal swinging arc in regards to the flexibility of their arms making a slashing weapon impractical outside of something like a strafing blade. But something that is a concentrated chopper that is mostly swung downward or upward. It makes for a weapon that is actually difficult to deal with.

A daggeraxe might be a simple though kinda brutal weapon made by various cultures, might also be referred to as very charming names such as a "Bellypick", "un Rascador", "spinal tap" etc. It is simply a short thick and stout blade (usually copper, brass or bronze) that is mounted 90-100 degrees from a short haft. It's very straightforward and is meant to be swung either downward into an opponents back, upwards to gut into an enemies belly, or other such locations through similar swings such as the chest or lower neck or the tailbase of an enemy.

Most drek fighting happens flank to flank as opposed to chest to chest, with drekir spiraling around eachother or running to their opponents flank to try and attack them, the flank exposes very vulnerable areas of a drek such as the crest of the back right between the legs and the belly. A weapon like a dagger axe is hard for a drek to defend from, they can't reach their arms up to stop an attack on the top of their back and the right angle of such a weapon ensures that even if the drek blocks the shaft the blade might still hit into their back, so unless there is armor there that drek is kinda helpless from that blade getting into their back and seriously messing them up. Likewise a swing from below into the belly is also difficult (though not as impossible) to block. The only way to not get incapacitated or killed by such a brutal weapon is to avoid the blade by shoving past or pushing out of that blades reach. Armor also helps protect one from strikes of such a nasty weapon, otherwise though having your life ruined by a fighter with a daggeraxe is a very real possibility.

I imagine in a lot of cultures that know of a weapon like this know it to be an exceptionally brutal weapon, most conflicts between tribes of drekir have ritual warfare or less lethal approaches to warfare. Injuring a warband and establishing dominance over them with a smaller number of kills. Killing large numbers of an enemy tribe is likely to mark your tribe as a danger in a region and generally in most conflicts drekir are less interested in killing enemies and more in sending a message. Killings do happen of course though in many cultures its not necessarily something that happens as constantly.
So taking a weapon like a daggeraxe that really doesn't have a lot of control or ability to not horribly maim someone sends a negative and intimidating message to other tribal warbands. it is saying "I don't care what the other locals think of us, I am here to maim, kill, and cripple you". In many cultures such a weapon might have a horridly negative reputation as a brutal immoral maiming weapon. Some cultures may have an emphasis on intimidation or a far more violent take on endemic warfare, and some may save such weapons for groups they particularly dislike such as the sivilão.

In any case, a not spear weapon that is particularly brutal and nasty, downward or upward swings are something drekir do decently and with a weapon like this, can produce some rather horrible results
